Hello all,
I've got a problem in my SXS. I've got it on stock ICS and rooted.
But whenever I use the included android app for messages, whenever I write more the 80 characters it changes to the second message, instead of completing the 160 limit for a regular SMS.
How can I overcome this? I've beein paying more then need for the SMS's that I send!
Thank you,
Miguel
It is because you're using special characters (I.e non English words variations, such as: àáäâæéêóôõíìúü and such.

Ok, I am, it's part of my language. But... Can't I use them and keep the 160 normal limit?
Isn't that a bit stupid, taking into consideration that my old nokia could?
Yeah. I also think. I also have this problem, as those characters can define the meaning off a word.

I sent SMS which was something like three SMSs chained together in Finnish language (Scandic letters äö etc.) to my girlfriend, and she said that only the first sentence was clear text, the rest was squares. Her phone is some old Sony Ericsson non-smartphone.
I told her to send the message back to me, and weird enough, first sentence is nearly as I wrote it, the "" smiley at the end of the sentence was two squares. After the squares, there's a few Chinese or Japanese Kanji characters and then again square or two, then again Kanji characters until end of the message chain.
Anybody seen this kind of problem? I think this should be reported to HTC if not already, I just don't know if this problem can be reproduced otherwise than sending similar awfully cute message to someone
sounds like some weird issue with the character sets being used (UTF-8 or Unicode etc.)
Don't know of any way to check what is being used on android....

I would suggest that your first port of call would be to try to send similar messages to friends who are using more up to date devices. It is possible that it is the SE that is failing to interpret the message correctly, rather than an issue with the Hero per se.

Yes I have, and now that you mentioned it I double checked. I'm quite sure the problem is caused by having a letter with the tilde on top in the message instead of the proper åäö. This happens very easily, since the tilde versions are right next to correct ones on the popup lists of the touch keyboard and the difference on the fonts after typing is barely noticeable.
What I don't know is if those a the only problematic symbols and wheather the character encoding is screwed up on android, by the operator (elisa) or at the receiver phone (s40 I think). I just hope the next version of the HTC rom has Finnish language support so that it would be easier to type and avoid this.
For now, simply spell check you texting carefully before hitting send. Especially when sending to gf

Actually what I didn't mention was that there was one "õ" character in the first sentence just for the reason you mentioned. I'm constantly hitting those still after three weeks using Hero. It may indeed be the reason for this "Chinese" translator" feature!
Thanks for suggesting this, I'm also hoping that if the äö characters are not visible on the main keyboard view, they should at least be more accessible in the future for us Finns
Hello,
Same problem for me. This is a known issue with Android OS, there is many complaisn from all contries in Europe using any special characters like 'ê' in french. More information here:

Hi guys new member today but been following the board for a while
Iv had my s2 for about 3 weeks and apart from the battery life am loving it
but i have 1 slight problem thats really irritating me and iv looked all over the net and cannot find a solution.
Iv moved from the blackberry platform as i love tinkering and found bb's to be too boringand iphones to be too restricted out the box
anyway i have a lot in fact most of my friends are blackberry users and a lot of our sms conversations involve the little smiley emotions which tbh i think are great
But if a bb user sends me a smiley it only shows up as the text format
I know it would only show the android verdion of the smiley on my side which would be fine but it doesnt just the plain jane text
i think from reading around it is because the bberry doesnt include the nose
is there any way around this iv tried asking the bb user to wtite the smiley in text form with the nose but it still sends without
is there any way that i can change my device to recognise it and show the emotion
iv tried the replacement sms apps but they are still the same
thanks in advance

Hmmmm... I am sure this is something that can be changed in the framework... No idea where it is though to look

yeah it does seem strange that the os has not been designed to allow the device to recognise emotions that are text in short without the nose
it gets rather annoying when having a text convo to have to keep replying asking what does it mean etc
even the 3rd party sms replacements dont recognise them
would be nice if you could edit each emotions to have 2 possible varients for each
If u use handcent SMS then download the Smileys pack from market or for whattsapp its built in.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
i tried that but it still doesnt seem to recognise the shortened version of the smileys???
or am i doing something wrong
I've tried the Handcent smileys too and no luck either.
Yeah i didnt think it worked surely there must be a way to do this
nobody?
surely this is bugging a few more peeps as well as me
This has been bugging me for a while and looks like updates don't solve it.
Probably you know, probably you don't, in Romanian there are two characters (diacritics) that are causing problems in the IT world. I'm talking about ş and ţ that are written with cedilla instead of comma under (more details here and here).
Android seems to correctly display only cedilla-S, cedilla-T and comma-S. Comma-T is displayed as a square (on Maps, inside PowerAMP, etc). Looks like it's only a font problem as the songs are correctly submitted to last.fm. It happens both on Defy CM7.1 and on Wildfire original latest.
I've heard some time ago that it will be fixed in Gingerbread, but... looks like I'll have to change the fonts myself on my Defy.
Is there any other solution than changing the fonts?
Bump!
Nobody, nothing about the subject?

The correct (official) way of writing the Romanian characters is with a comma, not a cedilla.

Dear All,
Recently got a Chinese phone from the net running ICS. I set the language to English, but some cuneiform text appears below the name of the people calling me. Is there any way to fix this?

Other than a custom rom or knowing how to decompile the apps and edit out the coding, probably not. Only possible easy solution that might or might not (probably not...) would be to make sure the locale is set to an English speaking country using something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bruce.setlocale
Thanks.
I am not intimidated my code as such (fluent in c++) but it'll take some time to understand android... Any idea which app I should look at? considering android is open source, I can probably patch the change in, create a replacement app and see if that works...

It's most likely either in something like a LocationProvider.apk (/system/apps) or the phone/dialer apk. If you are rooted, I'd try and free the LocationProvider,apk and see if that doesn't help. Try the easy stuff first. But I'd poke around in a thread like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1891962 or something similar that deals with this idea on porting Chinese roms to English.
Or you could just be lazy and see if installing another Contact/Dialer app from the Play Store just circumvents the whole deal.
Already tried using a caller id app, its more of a hit and miss... I was wondering what would happen if I just happen to replace the apps you mentioned from those of stock android? does that make sense?
Can someone please tell me how to teach the STUPID Samsung keyboard on the S6/Edge a new word, or a word/letter that I don't want it to keep autocorrecting every single time!!
I've been trying to teach it "N" or "n" as I use that in place of "and" quite often, but every single time since the phones been released, its been turning it into "now" or "no". So frustrating.
This is just a single example of hundreds of my words it corrects, for instance, when I write "Hi" at the top of an email, it changes it to "His". Seriously, what kind of a joke is this by Samsung on all of us?
In the settings it says that any words entered repeatedly over a week will be added to the dictionary, but this is obviously bs, as not a single one of my words has been added so far, and I repeat them frequently on purpose!
Please help me out someone, this is driving me up the wall. I know I can change keyboards, but these days in trying to stand out keyboards are adding too much useless crap, instead of good features (please suggest some that have the same features available such as emojis etc)
I look forward to your replies!

Choose between Swiftkey Keyboard and Google Keyboard. I personally use both, I switch for certain purposes.

Hit the thanks button already.
Don't be ridiculous, the emoji's character code, which I assume is ASCII are all the same throughout the computer world. They just look different based on how a computer or app interprets the code.

Lets not forget the main question here, how to teach the keyboard a new word? Samsung claims it learns your writing style, but clearly this is not the case. Even when I click the suggested word, 50 times, it doesn't add it to the dictionary, so this topic is still open.
As for the emojis, of course each app interprets the same code with its own images, but I'm after the end user experience here, so the choice of emoji images used are important to me.
kind regards

Clear the data of the Samsung keyboard. Works fine on my end. Check out SwiftKey Neural keyboard.
